This is a really great script for adding a light box effect to your Tumblr powered site as I have done with the photo posts on this site. Create the link to the high res image manually inserting the new {PhotoURL-HighRes} theme tag instead of the {LinkOpenTag} then you can insert the rel=”lightbox” attribute to the anchor.

Example:

<a href=”{PhotoURL-HighRes}” rel=”lightbox”><img src=”{PhotoURL-500}” alt=”{PhotoAlt}”/>{LinkCloseTag}

Lightbox Update

Since I wrote this post I have made several improvements to my lightbox setup, details of which can be found in my other posts tagged with lightbox.
